Tom Halfield writes:Planetside 2 will be free to play, according to RockPaperShotgun, who have spotted an interview on Chinese website 17173 with John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment. Obviously the text is in Chinese so we’ve had to rely on a translation by MMOsite, who say that the exact free to play model has not been settled on, with Smedley mentioning several possibilities during the interview.
Planetside 2’s future is uncertain as the IP was sold for a relatively low sum to a company with no history.
The last Live Letter is done and we were all surprised at the announcement of a delay to the release of FFXIV's Endwalker expansion, we got some more details about the MMORPG's new PvP Crystal Conflict mode, and some system details. Then we talk about PlanetSide 2's new continent and LOTRO's new expansion before wrapping up with some good changes for Ubisoft and Blizzard... but are they enough? All that and more on this week's Always Online!
PlanetSide 2 is going to be getting its next major expansion this December. This new addition, titled “Expedition: Oshur” will be the first addition in almost seven years to bring an entirely new continent to the game.
Not 12 not 24 not 32 not 64 not 256 but 2000!!! :)
I don't know if i want F2P with this title! I think $10 a month + a store would be cool. Some F2P shooters have way too many N0obs on them. Hopefully PS2 will be core enough to drive away the idiots.
2000 players........I have so much i wanna say but i'll just leave it at 2000 players on one Battlefield plus land and air vehicles cause that pretty much sums up the greatness of titles dedicated to utilizing the amazing features and abilities of the PC!
For those who do not know Planetside 2 is gonna be pure War 24/7/365. were not talking rounds or best 2 out of 3 but more like continuous non stop Planetary war where the objective is to control the whole planet inch by inch. Take a resource depot in the morning go to work come back home and the enemy may now control that same depot.
3 factions fighting one another for control of the JUMBO SUPER HUGE planet is awesome and NON-STOP action!! Also if you and your clan are really good then the whole server will know just how dominate you are by your prestige level which most likely will have the enemy hunting you specifically.
Game looks pretty sweet, can't wait to fire it up on the rig.
PC
it only does 2,000 players on one map at the same time
Geez Loise... That's a load of peoples.
